Hi Flic! Can't honestly remember what my 2 were taking at 3 months but that sounds about right as the amount grows, then peaks before you wean her in a few months. And really, you just need to do what she's telling you she needs, and by the sound of it, she was still hungry after 6 oz!!!

My G was exactly the same! She was hungry all the time at around 3 months (still is in fact!) and could drink anything from 6-9oz per feed - every 2.5-3 hours. I talked to my HV about it as I was worried about over-feeding, but she wasn't at all concerned. So on her advice we gradually switched her over to a hungry baby formula which bought us a bit longer between feeds. At about 17 weeks, she started waking in the night twice again as she was just so hungry - I started her on some solids for a couple of weeks which did the trick - but after a bout of constipation, she started to refuse it so we have stopped again. At the minute she's still taking enormous amounts of hungry milk frequently and growing like billio but sleeping the night through.

So to get to the point (sorry!) don't worry about overfeeding at this stage, she is obviously letting you know what she needs so follow her lead xx
